National Doughnut Day With Laurie

Did you know that today is National Doughnut Day! Yes, you read correctly! There is actually a day that celebrates those golden, baked pastries smothered in icing and sprinkles! Now that is one holiday I can totally get on board with! Ha!

I thought this special day would be the perfect opportunity to give a neighbor a "just because" gift! I created a card, coffee K Cup holder, and a flag ... all doughnut themed!

I purchased a doughnut that I knew would coordinate with my ensemble (good thing that they make doughnuts is just about every color imaginable). To tie it in with the other items, I created a flag that sticks right into the doughnut. I used a wooden skewer, patterned papers from the Family Frenzy collection, circle punches, and a Reverse Confetti stamp that I had in my stash.

For the coffee K Cup holder, I used this template combined with some more Family Frenzy patterned papers. I decorated the front with some alphabet stickers and sentiment sticker from the Family Frenzy Treasures & Text sheet. The top doughnut image was created using a die cut and more Family Frenzy patterned paper.

There are some really cute doughnut themed papers and stickers included in the Family Frenzy collection! I used one of the Daily Details for the main focal image and then added a small strip of striped paper (from the Donut Day sheet) at the bottom. The sticker is from the Treasures & Text sheet.
